Description:
Architecture is one of the most astounding and complex professions in the world today. It has only been well over a century since skyscrapers first made their appearance in the late nineteenth century, complete with photos of the construction that alarmingly include men eating their lunch thousands of feet into the air with nothing to hang on to should they fall. Architecture requires some of the most brilliant minds in the world today, as complex designs have to have a way to stay standing. If you look at buildings from the earlier times, they looked like square boxes with some windows. But the innovation of design has challenged architects to be more creative and productive in their designs. From buildings to bridges, people want more aesthetics than functionality these days. However, functionality is crucial because it can make the difference between life and death.
If a student makes an error on their test, the worst thing that will happen is that they get a bad grade. If an artist messes up on a piece, the worst thing that will happen is that there was time lost and wasted. But if an architect makes an error, then there is more devastation and more at risk. If an architect writes up plans that are flawed, and those plans are published around the world, then there is potential for worldwide catastrophe. When it all comes down to it, architectural failures can be devastating and lives can be lost at epic proportions.
In this video are ten of the biggest architecture failures that have ever occurred around the world. Not only did these fails result in monetary loss, but also resulted in catastrophic damage to the people involved that involved PTSD and death. From the collapse of bridges to the downfall of some of the mightiest buildings to have ever existed, these failures are a grim reminder that we are still not perfect and have a lot of work to do in terms of how much we can create on our own.
Sometimes loss of life isn’t the only major issue when it comes to architecture failures. Sometimes it’s something as simple as color of the building. Take the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the VdaraHotel and Spa. The buildings are both very shiny and reflect the sun, thus unintentionally creating a massive heat ray that moves as the Earth moves around the sun. People have actually reported their hair getting singe and plastic melting from the rays coming off of the buildings. Perhaps that’s why we don’t see many silver buildings anymore?
The entries in this video are both tragic and humorous. As the art of architecture continues to evolve and change, we will likely see more failures come as experimentation in the building world continues to progress. We are learning with each building how to create something bigger and better, along with making sure that the building is safe and not put together with paperclips, glue, and maybe a few thumbtacks.

Lyrics:
Remember when hell had frozen over?
The cold still burns underneath my skin
The water is rising all around me
And there is nothing left I can give
All these tears I've shed
I saw the wildfire spread
You said you cheated death
But heaven was in my head
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
It's like a brand new doomsday
The embers still glow when I’m sober
The gold in the flame burns brighter now
I have to rebuild now it's over
Maybe now I’m lost I can live
Souls don’t break they bend
But I sometimes forget
I have to do this for you
And the only way out is through
Death is an open door
Words the prophets said
Still swimming through my head
Now theres no stars left in the sky
'Cos this well will never run dry
What if I completely forget?
What if I never accept?
'Cos when you fade away
Its like a brand new doomsday
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough
And when the night gives way
It's like like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
Its like a brand new doomsday

From The Architectural Review: How is the potent and rapidly changing relationship between architecture and water affecting the city and all of us? Architecture critic, EllisWoodman explores with leading architects, developers and urban thinkers the challenges and opportunities presented by rivers and canals and asks if engineers and property developers now wield the key creative power in shaping the city's relationship with its rivers? Does climate change present an urgent need to rethink our rivers? Could floating bike lanes and parks provide to urban problems?
This is the first of a series of three films exploring the relationship between architecture and water.
Part two: Gentrification machine — is the water a force that will unlock an increasingly unaffordable city or one that will fuel a trend of gentrification and displacement?
Part three: Water park — how can a river become more than a transport route and pretty view? Through recreation, interaction and radical ideas such as floating parks, amphibious houses and new public wetlands can the river become a living part of the city?

Computer Vision has become ubiquitous in our society, with applications in search, image understanding, apps, mapping, medicine, drones, and self-driving cars. Core to many of these applications are visual recognition tasks such as image classification, localization and detection. Recent developments in neural network (aka “deep learning”) approaches have greatly advanced the performance of these state-of-the-art visual recognition systems. This lecture collection is a deep dive into details of the deep learning architectures with a focus on learning end-to-end models for these tasks, particularly image classification. From this lecture collection, students will learn to implement, train and debug their own neural networks and gain a detailed understanding of cutting-edge research in computer vision.

Architecture -- Career

Architects design the spaces in which we live, work, and play. Though not a "classical" STEM field, the field of architecture encompasses all aspects of STEM --science, technology, engineering and math, with a nice dose of art and design thrown in. The demand for architects is on the rise, and there has never been a more exciting time to enter the field. Emerging subfields in sustainability and green building place architects in a unique position to help minimize our impact on the environment.

Why Enterprise Architecture?

Why Enterprise Architecture?

Why Enterprise Architecture?

MeetMichael, he works at a your company. He needs support from IT to do his job, so they cater to his wishes. But Michael is not alone and many Michaels later a Hairball Architecture will grow unless you use Enterprise Architecture (EA) to prevent that. EA is not just about some guidelines and principles, it is a process that makes sure the constant changes that inevitably happen in your landscape are good for your company as a whole and over time, not just good for the problem at hand.
The animation stresses the chaos-prevention goal of enterprise architecture and only touches lightly on the fit-for-the-future goal of enterprise architecture (at the end). Some architects (see comments below) say it wrongly depicts EA as too much about IT. I've posted a longer reply here: http://enterprisechess.com/2015/04/27/the-great-escape-ea-is-not-about-it/
The animation and narrative was created by New Narrative (https://www.newnarrative.media) based on interviews with me (the underlying message is mine, the way it is presented has been designed by New Narrative, I OK'ed the final script).
This animation can be freely used 'as is'. If you want an adapted version, please contact me for the approval (as I represent the publishing rights, info@masteringarchimate.com) and you will need to work with New Narrative for changes (as they are the owner of the animation). McDonalds and the Bank of Scotland are some of the organisations that have made customised versions for internal use.
If you use this for your practice, I'd appreciate that you let me know. I know of several large enterprises that are now using this.

Nvidia GPU Architecture

Nvidia GPU Architecture

Nvidia GPU Architecture

This video is about NvidiaGPU architecture. This is my final project for my computer architecture class at community college.

You're probably used to MVP, MVVM, MVC, Clean, Viper, and other patterns and architectures usually applied using OOP.
This talk offers functional alternatives to these concepts, enhancing key ideas such as:
* Purity: Get rid of state on layers where it's not actually needed, enhancing the predictability of your code and therefore testability. You will learn about referential transparency and its importance for code readability, while at the same time reducing substantially the amount dependencies you need to mock.
* Dependency Injection: Find new ways of injecting dependencies into your system without the need of complex frameworks or libraries. Learn how to switch dependencies that are applying side effects on your testing environment to achieve complete isolation.
* Monads: Use Monads and sealed classes to model success and error cases inside your system. Use nested Monads, Functors, Applicatives to operate and transform the domain data. We’ll also cover more advanced styles such as Tagless-Final and Free Monads.
If you feel OOP is just not enough and want to make a big step forward, watch this talk. You will not regret it!
Jorge Castillo is an AndroidEngineer at GoMore. Mainly focused on functional approaches for Android app architecture using Kotlin. He usually shares some interesting articles about this topic on his blog https://medium.com/@jorgecastillopr

Service-Oriented Architecture

Service Oriented Architecture or SOA for short, is an approach to distributed systems architecture that employs loosely coupled services, standard interfaces and protocols to deliver seamless cross-platform integration. It is used to integrate widely divergent components by providing them with a common interface and set of protocols for them to communicate through what is called a service bus. In this video we discuss the use of SOA as a new architecture paradigm ideally suited to the design of complex systems.

LinkedIn:https://goo.gl/3v1vwF
Transcription:
As we have discussed in previous sections the structure and make up to complex engineered systems is fundamentally different to that of our traditional engineered systems which are homogenous, well bounded, monolithic and relatively static, our complex systems are in contrary, heterogeneous, dynamics, unbounded and composed of autonomous elements.
Modelling and designing these new complex engineered systems requires intern a alternative paradigm in systems architecture, our new architecture will need to be able to deal with the key features to complex engineered systems that we discussed in previous sections.
Firstly it will need to be focus on services over the properties of components. It will also need to be focused upon interpretability and cross platform functionality to deal with a high level of diversity between components. So as to deal with the autonomy of the components it will need to be flexible, distributed and what we call loosely coupled. Lastly It will also need to employ a high level of abstraction to be able to deal with the overwhelming complex of these systems.
Over the past few decades a new systems architecture paradigm has emerged within I.T. called Service Orientated Architecture. It is a response to having to build software adapted to distributed and heterogeneous environments that the internet has made more prevalent and thus is an architecture paradigm that fits the design of complex systems well.
Service orientated architecture, S.O.A. or SOA for short, is an approach to distributed systems architecture that employs loosely coupled services, standard interfaces and protocols to deliver seamless cross platform integration. It is used to integrate widely divergent components by providing them with a common interface and set of protocols for them to communicate through what is called a service bus. Because SOA originally comes form software development lets take an example from I.T.
Imagine I want to build a new web application that allows people to pay their parking tickets online. Well I could spend years developing a subsystem that functions as a street map and then another subsystem for dealing with the payments and yet other for login, user authentication and so one. Or I could simply avail of Google’s map service, a payment gateway service from Paypal and a user login service from Facebook, my job then would be to integrate these diverse service by creating some common process that guides the user though the use of these different services to deliver the desired functionality,
Thus instead of building a system that was based around all my different internal components within my well bounded piece of software, my new application would instead be built with an architecture that is orientated around services, a service orientated architecture.
Now lets take an example outside of I.T. to illustrate its more generic relevance. Imagine I am a coffee shop owner, my interest is in providing customers with food and beverage in a pleasant environment, in order to do this I need to bring many different things together, from coffee beens to equipment to employees and so on. I need to design some common platform for all these things to interoperate and deliver the final service. But lets think about this system within the more formal language of SOA.
Firstly each component in the system is providing a service, whether it is the employee pouring the coffee or the chairs on which people sit, we as designers of the system are not interested in the internal functioning of these components, because we don’t need that information we abstract it away by encapsulating it, only the provider of the service needs to know the internal logic of the component, to us they are simply services.
So when it comes to a customer paying with credit card, they simply swipe their card and input the pin number, no one in the shop understands how the transaction is actually completed, only the financial service provider has that information, for the rest of us it is abstracted away through encapsulation.

Remember when hell had frozen over?
The cold still burns underneath my skin
The water is rising all around me
And there is nothing left I can give
All these tears I've shed
I saw the wildfire spread
You said you cheated death
But heaven was in my head
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done

Architecture & Water documentary. Part 1: A river runs through it

From The Architectural Review: How is the potent and rapidly changing relationship between architecture and water affecting the city and all of us? Architecture critic, EllisWoodman explores with leading architects, developers and urban thinkers the challenges and opportunities presented by rivers and canals and asks if engineers and property developers now wield the key creative power in shaping the city's relationship with its rivers? Does climate change present an urgent need to rethink our rivers? Could floating bike lanes and parks provide to urban problems?
This is the first of a series of three films exploring the relationship between architecture and water.
Part two: Gentrification machine — is the water a force that will unlock an increasingly unaffordable city or one that will...

This video shows the final project presentation of the System-On-Chip Architectures and Modelling class in Winter term 2011 at Graz University of Technology.
The aim was to develop an embedded alarming system comprising two Xilinx ML605 Virtex-6 FPGA-boards which were connected via Ethernet. The FPGAs were programmed as MicroBlaze / Leon3 processors with additional hardware components (e.g. video processing unit, audio processing unit, cryptocore, ...), running uCLinux. The first board was responsible for video and audio capturing and noise / motion level computation. The second board had to display the received data and set the alarm if necessary.
The overall features include:
- USB (bridged over Ethernet) webcam @ VGA resolution
- Video capturing, motion detection and thresholding

Computer Architectures Final Presentation

Architecture -- Career

Architects design the spaces in which we live, work, and play. Though not a "classical" STEM field, the field of architecture encompasses all aspects of STEM --science, technology, engineering and math, with a nice dose of art and design thrown in. The demand for architects is on the rise, and there has never been a more exciting time to enter the field. Emerging subfields in sustainability and green building place architects in a unique position to help minimize our impact on the environment.

Why Enterprise Architecture?

MeetMichael, he works at a your company. He needs support from IT to do his job, so they cater to his wishes. But Michael is not alone and many Michaels later a Hairball Architecture will grow unless you use Enterprise Architecture (EA) to prevent that. EA is not just about some guidelines and principles, it is a process that makes sure the constant changes that inevitably happen in your landscape are good for your company as a whole and over time, not just good for the problem at hand.
The animation stresses the chaos-prevention goal of enterprise architecture and only touches lightly on the fit-for-the-future goal of enterprise architecture (at the end). Some architects (see comments below) say it wrongly depicts EA as too much about IT. I've posted a longer reply here: http://enterpri...

Nvidia GPU Architecture

This video is about NvidiaGPU architecture. This is my final project for my computer architecture class at community college.

You're probably used to MVP, MVVM, MVC, Clean, Viper, and other patterns and architectures usually applied using OOP.
This talk offers functional alternatives to these concepts, enhancing key ideas such as:
* Purity: Get rid of state on layers where it's not actually needed, enhancing the predictability of your code and therefore testability. You will learn about referential transparency and its importance for code readability, while at the same time reducing substantially the amount dependencies you need to mock.
* Dependency Injection: Find new ways of injecting dependencies into your system without the need of complex frameworks or libraries. Learn how to switch dependencies that are applying side effects on your testing environment to achieve complete isolation.
* Monads: Use Monad...

Service-Oriented Architecture

Follow along with the course eBook: https://goo.gl/niKYiD
For full courses see: http://complexitylabs.io/courses/
Service Oriented Architecture or SOA for short, is an approach to distributed systems architecture that employs loosely coupled services, standard interfaces and protocols to deliver seamless cross-platform integration. It is used to integrate widely divergent components by providing them with a common interface and set of protocols for them to communicate through what is called a service bus. In this video we discuss the use of SOA as a new architecture paradigm ideally suited to the design of complex systems.

The Largest Things In The World https://youtu.be/V1lfjKqGgf8?list=PLXK3uPjJ22FUgkmE10ySoALx9YjknvXHI
Description:
Architecture is one of the most astounding and complex professions in the world today. It has only been well over a century since skyscrapers first made their appearance in the late nineteenth century, complete with photos of the construction that alarmingly include men eating their lunch thousands of feet into the air with nothing to hang on to should they fall. Architecture requires some of the most brilliant minds in the world today, as complex designs have to have a way to stay standing. If you look at buildings from the earlier times, they looked like square boxes with some windows. But the innovation of design has challenged architects to be more creative and productive in their designs. From buildings to bridges, people want more aesthetics than functionality these days. However, functionality is crucial because it can make the difference between life and death.
If a student makes an error on their test, the worst thing that will happen is that they get a bad grade. If an artist messes up on a piece, the worst thing that will happen is that there was time lost and wasted. But if an architect makes an error, then there is more devastation and more at risk. If an architect writes up plans that are flawed, and those plans are published around the world, then there is potential for worldwide catastrophe. When it all comes down to it, architectural failures can be devastating and lives can be lost at epic proportions.
In this video are ten of the biggest architecture failures that have ever occurred around the world. Not only did these fails result in monetary loss, but also resulted in catastrophic damage to the people involved that involved PTSD and death. From the collapse of bridges to the downfall of some of the mightiest buildings to have ever existed, these failures are a grim reminder that we are still not perfect and have a lot of work to do in terms of how much we can create on our own.
Sometimes loss of life isn’t the only major issue when it comes to architecture failures. Sometimes it’s something as simple as color of the building. Take the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the VdaraHotel and Spa. The buildings are both very shiny and reflect the sun, thus unintentionally creating a massive heat ray that moves as the Earth moves around the sun. People have actually reported their hair getting singe and plastic melting from the rays coming off of the buildings. Perhaps that’s why we don’t see many silver buildings anymore?
The entries in this video are both tragic and humorous. As the art of architecture continues to evolve and change, we will likely see more failures come as experimentation in the building world continues to progress. We are learning with each building how to create something bigger and better, along with making sure that the building is safe and not put together with paperclips, glue, and maybe a few thumbtacks.

Remember when hell had frozen over?
The cold still burns underneath my skin
The water is rising all around me
And there is nothing left I can give
All these tears I've shed
I saw the wildfire spread
You said you cheated death
But heaven was in my head
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
It's like a brand new doomsday
The embers still glow when I’m sober
The gold in the flame burns brighter now
I have to rebuild now it's over
Maybe now I’m lost I can live
Souls don’t break they bend
But I sometimes forget
I have to do this for you
And the only way out is through
Death is an open door
Words the prophets said
Still swimming through my head
Now theres no stars left in the sky
'Cos this well will never run dry
What if I completely forget?
What if I never accept?
'Cos when you fade away
Its like a brand new doomsday
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough

From The Architectural Review: How is the potent and rapidly changing relationship between architecture and water affecting the city and all of us? Architecture critic, EllisWoodman explores with leading architects, developers and urban thinkers the challenges and opportunities presented by rivers and canals and asks if engineers and property developers now wield the key creative power in shaping the city's relationship with its rivers? Does climate change present an urgent need to rethink our rivers? Could floating bike lanes and parks provide to urban problems?
This is the first of a series of three films exploring the relationship between architecture and water.
Part two: Gentrification machine — is the water a force that will unlock an increasingly unaffordable city or one that will fuel a trend of gentrification and displacement?
Part three: Water park — how can a river become more than a transport route and pretty view? Through recreation, interaction and radical ideas such as floating parks, amphibious houses and new public wetlands can the river become a living part of the city?

Computer Vision has become ubiquitous in our society, with applications in search, image understanding, apps, mapping, medicine, drones, and self-driving cars. Core to many of these applications are visual recognition tasks such as image classification, localization and detection. Recent developments in neural network (aka “deep learning”) approaches have greatly advanced the performance of these state-of-the-art visual recognition systems. This lecture collection is a deep dive into details of the deep learning architectures with a focus on learning end-to-end models for these tasks, particularly image classification. From this lecture collection, students will learn to implement, train and debug their own neural networks and gain a detailed understanding of cutting-edge research in computer vision.

Architects design the spaces in which we live, work, and play. Though not a "classical" STEM field, the field of architecture encompasses all aspects of STEM --science, technology, engineering and math, with a nice dose of art and design thrown in. The demand for architects is on the rise, and there has never been a more exciting time to enter the field. Emerging subfields in sustainability and green building place architects in a unique position to help minimize our impact on the environment.

MeetMichael, he works at a your company. He needs support from IT to do his job, so they cater to his wishes. But Michael is not alone and many Michaels later a Hairball Architecture will grow unless you use Enterprise Architecture (EA) to prevent that. EA is not just about some guidelines and principles, it is a process that makes sure the constant changes that inevitably happen in your landscape are good for your company as a whole and over time, not just good for the problem at hand.
The animation stresses the chaos-prevention goal of enterprise architecture and only touches lightly on the fit-for-the-future goal of enterprise architecture (at the end). Some architects (see comments below) say it wrongly depicts EA as too much about IT. I've posted a longer reply here: http://enterprisechess.com/2015/04/27/the-great-escape-ea-is-not-about-it/
The animation and narrative was created by New Narrative (https://www.newnarrative.media) based on interviews with me (the underlying message is mine, the way it is presented has been designed by New Narrative, I OK'ed the final script).
This animation can be freely used 'as is'. If you want an adapted version, please contact me for the approval (as I represent the publishing rights, info@masteringarchimate.com) and you will need to work with New Narrative for changes (as they are the owner of the animation). McDonalds and the Bank of Scotland are some of the organisations that have made customised versions for internal use.
If you use this for your practice, I'd appreciate that you let me know. I know of several large enterprises that are now using this.

You're probably used to MVP, MVVM, MVC, Clean, Viper, and other patterns and architectures usually applied using OOP.
This talk offers functional alternatives to these concepts, enhancing key ideas such as:
* Purity: Get rid of state on layers where it's not actually needed, enhancing the predictability of your code and therefore testability. You will learn about referential transparency and its importance for code readability, while at the same time reducing substantially the amount dependencies you need to mock.
* Dependency Injection: Find new ways of injecting dependencies into your system without the need of complex frameworks or libraries. Learn how to switch dependencies that are applying side effects on your testing environment to achieve complete isolation.
* Monads: Use Monads and sealed classes to model success and error cases inside your system. Use nested Monads, Functors, Applicatives to operate and transform the domain data. We’ll also cover more advanced styles such as Tagless-Final and Free Monads.
If you feel OOP is just not enough and want to make a big step forward, watch this talk. You will not regret it!

Service Oriented Architecture or SOA for short, is an approach to distributed systems architecture that employs loosely coupled services, standard interfaces and protocols to deliver seamless cross-platform integration. It is used to integrate widely divergent components by providing them with a common interface and set of protocols for them to communicate through what is called a service bus. In this video we discuss the use of SOA as a new architecture paradigm ideally suited to the design of complex systems.

Transcription:
As we have discussed in previous sections the structure and make up to complex engineered systems is fundamentally different to that of our traditional engineered systems which are homogenous, well bounded, monolithic and relatively static, our complex systems are in contrary, heterogeneous, dynamics, unbounded and composed of autonomous elements.
Modelling and designing these new complex engineered systems requires intern a alternative paradigm in systems architecture, our new architecture will need to be able to deal with the key features to complex engineered systems that we discussed in previous sections.
Firstly it will need to be focus on services over the properties of components. It will also need to be focused upon interpretability and cross platform functionality to deal with a high level of diversity between components. So as to deal with the autonomy of the components it will need to be flexible, distributed and what we call loosely coupled. Lastly It will also need to employ a high level of abstraction to be able to deal with the overwhelming complex of these systems.
Over the past few decades a new systems architecture paradigm has emerged within I.T. called Service Orientated Architecture. It is a response to having to build software adapted to distributed and heterogeneous environments that the internet has made more prevalent and thus is an architecture paradigm that fits the design of complex systems well.
Service orientated architecture, S.O.A. or SOA for short, is an approach to distributed systems architecture that employs loosely coupled services, standard interfaces and protocols to deliver seamless cross platform integration. It is used to integrate widely divergent components by providing them with a common interface and set of protocols for them to communicate through what is called a service bus. Because SOA originally comes form software development lets take an example from I.T.
Imagine I want to build a new web application that allows people to pay their parking tickets online. Well I could spend years developing a subsystem that functions as a street map and then another subsystem for dealing with the payments and yet other for login, user authentication and so one. Or I could simply avail of Google’s map service, a payment gateway service from Paypal and a user login service from Facebook, my job then would be to integrate these diverse service by creating some common process that guides the user though the use of these different services to deliver the desired functionality,
Thus instead of building a system that was based around all my different internal components within my well bounded piece of software, my new application would instead be built with an architecture that is orientated around services, a service orientated architecture.
Now lets take an example outside of I.T. to illustrate its more generic relevance. Imagine I am a coffee shop owner, my interest is in providing customers with food and beverage in a pleasant environment, in order to do this I need to bring many different things together, from coffee beens to equipment to employees and so on. I need to design some common platform for all these things to interoperate and deliver the final service. But lets think about this system within the more formal language of SOA.
Firstly each component in the system is providing a service, whether it is the employee pouring the coffee or the chairs on which people sit, we as designers of the system are not interested in the internal functioning of these components, because we don’t need that information we abstract it away by encapsulating it, only the provider of the service needs to know the internal logic of the component, to us they are simply services.
So when it comes to a customer paying with credit card, they simply swipe their card and input the pin number, no one in the shop understands how the transaction is actually completed, only the financial service provider has that information, for the rest of us it is abstracted away through encapsulation.

What is Systems Architecture (PART 1)

Yona Friedman Interview: Architecture of Trial and Error

“Don't forget that very important cities today started by immigration.” Meet the 94-year-old architect behind 'L’Architecture Mobile', Yona Friedman. He here shares the story of how his years as a refugee sparked his desire to make architecture adaptable.
“We need to get back to elasticity.” Friedman feels that an architect has to find a form, which is inexpensive and permits room for trial and error. Somewhere along the way, mainstream architecture forgot “the process” and that architecture is an “open-ended process – there is no final stage.” The idea behind Friedman’s ‘mobile architecture’ (L’Architecture Mobile) was that a house could be transformed as much as possible through the technical means of all individuals, and his goal was to “build a skeleton in which you could move homes l...

Meet-the-Authors: Ong Ker-Shing and Joshua Comaroff of Horror in Architecture

"Horror In Architecture, a new book by Singapore-based architects Joshua Comaroff and Ong Ker-Shing, looks at the idea of horror and its analogues in architecture. In this 225-page book, the authors have built upon an investigation that spans across fields like history, literature and pop culture, to critique, categorise and explain the existence of various types of architecture around the world.
This book is a study about temporality and culture and it explores horror in architecture in its many guises. It also includes various case studies, attributing different typologies (clones, doubles, hybrids, psychotics and the undead) to specific buildings and architectural theories which provide a framework to understand such diverse work.
Horror In Architecture may be read as a history, as ...

The Annual Architecture Lecture 2016: Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu

On Monday 11 July 2016, the RA welcomed Chinese architects Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu, of Amateur Architecture Studio, to deliver the 26th Annual Architecture Lecture.
Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu founded Amateur Architecture Studio in Hangzhou, China in 1997. They chose the name to emphasise the focus on craft, cultural memory and the everyday in their practice. Making frequent use of recycled building materials, their work negotiates the relationship between an architecture that is informed by Chinese tradition and one that is forward-looking, creating buildings that are at once timeless and shaped by the present moment. Works such as the Ningbo History Museum (2003–08) and Xiangshan Campus of China Academy of Art (2004–07) reveal their ability to create architecture that is contextual yet challeng...

Overcoming Fundamental Inefficiencies in the Representation of Data in Conventional Architectures

Society has become so dependent on computing power that any inefficiencies in the way that we process information can considerably impede productivity and quality of life. Three emerging trends pose challenges to the design of more efficient computer systems. First, energy constraints are becoming more strict amidst the rising interest in IoT and mobile computing. Yet traditional architectures waste a great deal of energy ensuring exactness for the naturally approximate applications that run on these systems (e.g., noisy sensor input, user-subjective output). Second, data sets are growing to enormous proportions due to the rapid gathering of information in modern devices. We can no longer rely on data being readily available in on-chip storage. Third, active chip area is diminishing at sma...

You're probably used to MVP, MVVM, MVC, Clean, Viper, and other patterns and architectures usually applied using OOP.
This talk offers functional alternatives to these concepts, enhancing key ideas such as:
* Purity: Get rid of state on layers where it's not actually needed, enhancing the predictability of your code and therefore testability. You will learn about referential transparency and its importance for code readability, while at the same time reducing substantially the amount dependencies you need to mock.
* Dependency Injection: Find new ways of injecting dependencies into your system without the need of complex frameworks or libraries. Learn how to switch dependencies that are applying side effects on your testing environment to achieve complete isolation.
* Monads: Use Monads and sealed classes to model success and error cases inside your system. Use nested Monads, Functors, Applicatives to operate and transform the domain data. We’ll also cover more advanced styles such as Tagless-Final and Free Monads.
If you feel OOP is just not enough and want to make a big step forward, watch this talk. You will not regret it!

Computer Vision has become ubiquitous in our society, with applications in search, image understanding, apps, mapping, medicine, drones, and self-driving cars. Core to many of these applications are visual recognition tasks such as image classification, localization and detection. Recent developments in neural network (aka “deep learning”) approaches have greatly advanced the performance of these state-of-the-art visual recognition systems. This lecture collection is a deep dive into details of the deep learning architectures with a focus on learning end-to-end models for these tasks, particularly image classification. From this lecture collection, students will learn to implement, train and debug their own neural networks and gain a detailed understanding of cutting-edge research in computer vision.

“Don't forget that very important cities today started by immigration.” Meet the 94-year-old architect behind 'L’Architecture Mobile', Yona Friedman. He here shares the story of how his years as a refugee sparked his desire to make architecture adaptable.
“We need to get back to elasticity.” Friedman feels that an architect has to find a form, which is inexpensive and permits room for trial and error. Somewhere along the way, mainstream architecture forgot “the process” and that architecture is an “open-ended process – there is no final stage.” The idea behind Friedman’s ‘mobile architecture’ (L’Architecture Mobile) was that a house could be transformed as much as possible through the technical means of all individuals, and his goal was to “build a skeleton in which you could move homes like you move towels on a beach.” Consequently, he began making cartoon manuals, which were to help people execute the process themselves, believing that people should be left with room to improvise the city and its architecture: “That means the city shouldn’t resist the inhabitants, but should obey the inhabitants.”
“If there is space available, the technical problem is very low.” Friedman’s idea of the elevated city of ‘Ville Spatiale’ (1956) is a form of urban design, which aims to use the existing space in the most flexible way, creating new forms of cities with so-called ‘superstructures’ poised over existing locations. Friedman stresses that this is also very important in the context of how to integrate refugees into our cities. In spite of the current tone, the cities of Europe are not overpopulated and immigrants bring something new and useful, which has always been the case throughout history: “It depends on the mentality of those who were there originally and those who come in.” Places with immigration didn’t become poor, on the contrary, they prospered: “Ancient Rome was an asylum.”
“Optimism doesn't mean that the way necessarily is easy, but if you’re an optimist you take a difficult road more easily.” Friedman – who himself was a Jewish refugee during World War II – stresses that as an immigrant he was always accepted “with sympathetic indifference.” He adapted himself, and so did the people around him, independently of politicians, political parties or the like: “We are individuals, and we are able to improvise, and we are able to live leaderless, and we are able to invent… That’s enormous.”
Yona Friedman (b. 1923) in Budapest, Hungary is an architect, urban planner and designer, who lives and works in Paris, France. He was trained as an architect and rose to prominence with his manifesto L’Architecture Mobile (mobile architecture) and his idea for a different approach to urban growth with the ‘Ville Spatiale’ in 1956. Working on the principles for the Ville Spatiale, Friedman wanted to provide maximum flexibility through huge ‘superstructures’ over existing cities and other locations. The idea was for future inhabitants to be free to construct their residences within these structures, his architectural projects aiming to help and inspire people to do things independently. Friedman’s work – which includes sociology, economics, mathematics, information science, planning, visual art and film-making – consists mainly of proposals set out in drawings and models.

Yona Friedman was interviewed by Kasper Bech Dyg in July 2017 at the Danish Association of Architects in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Meet-the-Authors: Ong Ker-Shing and Joshua Comaroff of Horror in Architecture

"Horror In Architecture, a new book by Singapore-based architects Joshua Comaroff and Ong Ker-Shing, looks at the idea of horror and its analogues in architecture. In this 225-page book, the authors have built upon an investigation that spans across fields like history, literature and pop culture, to critique, categorise and explain the existence of various types of architecture around the world.
This book is a study about temporality and culture and it explores horror in architecture in its many guises. It also includes various case studies, attributing different typologies (clones, doubles, hybrids, psychotics and the undead) to specific buildings and architectural theories which provide a framework to understand such diverse work.
Horror In Architecture may be read as a history, as an alternative to the classic canon of good and proper architectures, or as a sly manifesto for a new approach to the design of the built environment -- one that encourages a playful subversion of conventions -- an approach the authors represent in their architectural practice, Lekker Design, an experimental design office in Singapore and the USA."

On Monday 11 July 2016, the RA welcomed Chinese architects Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu, of Amateur Architecture Studio, to deliver the 26th Annual Architecture Lecture.
Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu founded Amateur Architecture Studio in Hangzhou, China in 1997. They chose the name to emphasise the focus on craft, cultural memory and the everyday in their practice. Making frequent use of recycled building materials, their work negotiates the relationship between an architecture that is informed by Chinese tradition and one that is forward-looking, creating buildings that are at once timeless and shaped by the present moment. Works such as the Ningbo History Museum (2003–08) and Xiangshan Campus of China Academy of Art (2004–07) reveal their ability to create architecture that is contextual yet challenging, and monumental yet full of intimate spaces.

Society has become so dependent on computing power that any inefficiencies in the way that we process information can considerably impede productivity and quality of life. Three emerging trends pose challenges to the design of more efficient computer systems. First, energy constraints are becoming more strict amidst the rising interest in IoT and mobile computing. Yet traditional architectures waste a great deal of energy ensuring exactness for the naturally approximate applications that run on these systems (e.g., noisy sensor input, user-subjective output). Second, data sets are growing to enormous proportions due to the rapid gathering of information in modern devices. We can no longer rely on data being readily available in on-chip storage. Third, active chip area is diminishing at smaller technology nodes due to thermal and power density limitations in process technology scaling. We can no longer fully utilize all on-chip hardware resources simultaneously. In this talk, I present new architectural techniques that tackle these challenges by recognizing that they stem from fundamental gaps in the way that data is contextualized in hardware. The goal of a processor is to process real-world information; yet in modern architectures, hardware perceives data as nothing more than bits. First, I show that awareness of the type of information encoded in the bits enables approximation of data values for greater efficiency under strict energy constraints. Second, I show that awareness of the location of information enables more concise caching of massive data sets. Third, I show that awareness of the significance of information enables better scheduling of computations based on their impact to the quality of the final result, improving utilization of precious on-chip resources. These ideas aim to mitigate fundamental inefficiencies in the data movement, storage and compute of today's systems.

Getting up and running with SpringCloud is a breeze. But once the initial setup is done, it needs to be complemented with an ecosystem that can cope with the extra operational complexity and quality concerns. While running Spring Cloud in production for over a year, Pivotal has integrated some interesting tools for documentation, operations and testing. During this talk you will see a demo of an integrated platform based on Spring Cloud, including tools like Spring Cloud Contract, wiremock, saboteur, ELK, Spinnaker, Spring Boot Admin and more. One of these tools is a dashboard for visualising Pivotal’s Spring Cloud microservice architecture, which has recently been open sourced. Documenting, testing, troubleshooting, and monitoring highly distributed systems in microservice architectures are hard. Finding quality, complementary tools in the wilds of open source can be even harder. Join this webinar for a pragmatic look at taming some of the challenges of running microservices in production.

Lecture by Barry Bergdoll about three great architects of European architecture in the 19th Century

Barry Bergdoll: Henri Labrouste, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Heinrich Hübsch and Architectural Romanticism in the 19th Century
Lecture, 26. 2. 2014, 7 pm
Museum of Architecture and Design, Ljubljana, Slovenia
within the accompanying programme of the exhibition: 19th Century Architecture in Slovenia
www.mao.si
Barry Bergdoll, Professor of 19th- and 20th-centuryArchitectural History at Columbia University and curator of architecture at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, in his lecture accompanying the exhibition 19th-century Architecture juxtaposed three greats of European architecture of the period: German architects Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Heinrich Hübsch, and the French Henri Labrouste.
The rich theoretical and practical work of these architects reveals key questions raised by architecture in the 19th century. Romanticism, which in art represents an escape from the modern reality of the 19th century, the industrial revolution, population growth and urbanization, emerges in architecture as the revival of Gothic architecture and brings appreciation for the picturesque beauty of Medieval ruins. The subject notably led to debate between proponents of classicist and historicist architectures. Though Hübsch, in his book "In welchem Style sollen wir bauen?" primarily wished to critique classicist architecture, the work is remembered for introducing the issue of style as an architectural problem of the 19th century. In Schinkel, style issues reflect already in his opus, as he traversed from his early classicist style across a Neo-Gothic one, ultimately transcending them both by embracing the clean strokes of modernism developing in the 20th century. Here, Labrouste went even further, as he is counted among the rare architects of the 19th century whose "heroic" stature persisted throughout the periods, which can largely be attributed to the fact he shed light on the still-relevant exploration of new relationships between architectural form and technology.
Barry Bergdoll is a Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University and the curator of architecture at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. His broad interests center on modern architectural history with an emphasis on the development of architecture in France and Germany between 1750 and 1900. Mr. Bergdoll's research is closely intertwined with cultural history and the history and sociology of professions, in particular the role of knowledge in the development of professionalism. He has studied questions of the politics of cultural representation in architecture, the broader ideological aspects of 19th- century architectural theory, and the changing role of architecture both as a profession as well as a cultural product of 19th-century European society. His interests also include the relationship between architecture and new technologies (and eventually cultures) of representation in the modern period, especially photography and film.
Professor Bergdoll has worked on several film productions about architecture, in addition to curating a number of exhibitions concerned with the history and problematics of exhibiting architecture, and the history of museological practices in relation to architecture. He is the author of numerous books, catalogues and other publications.

Intel processors have been a major force in personal computing for more than 30 years. An understanding of low level computing mechanisms used in Intel chips as taught in this course by Xeno Kovah serves as a foundation upon which to better understand other hardware, as well as many technical specialties such as reverse engineering, compiler design, operating system design, code optimization, and vulnerability exploitation.
25% of the time will be spent bootstrapping knowledge of fully OS-independent aspects of Intel architecture. 50% will be spent learning Windows tools and analysis of simple programs. The final 25% of time will be spent learning Linux tools for analysis.
This class serves as a foundation for the follow on Intermediate level x86 class. It teaches the basic concepts and describes the hardware that assembly code deals with. It also goes over many of the most common assembly instructions. Although x86 has hundreds of special purpose instructions, students will be shown it is possible to read most programs by knowing only around 20-30 instructions and their variations.
The instructor-led lab work will include:

Intel processors have been a major force in personal computing for more than 30 years. An understanding of low level computing mechanisms used in Intel chips as taught in this course by Xeno Kovah serves as a foundation upon which to better understand other hardware, as well as many technical specialties such as reverse engineering, compiler design, operating system design, code optimization, and vulnerability exploitation.
25% of the time will be spent bootstrapping knowledge of fully OS-independent aspects of Intel architecture. 50% will be spent learning Windows tools and analysis of simple programs. The final 25% of time will be spent learning Linux tools for analysis.
This class serves as a foundation for the follow on Intermediate level x86 class. It teaches the basic concepts and describes the hardware that assembly code deals with. It also goes over many of the most common assembly instructions. Although x86 has hundreds of special purpose instructions, students will be shown it is possible to read most programs by knowing only around 20-30 instructions and their variations.
The instructor-led lab work will include:
* Stepping through a small program and watching the changes to the stack at each instruction (push, pop, call, ret (return), mov)
* Stepping through a slightly more complicated program (adds lea(load effective address), add, sub)
* Understanding the correspondence between C and assembly control transfer mechanisms (e.g. goto in C == jmp in ams)
* Understanding conditional control flow and how loops are translated from C to asm(conditional jumps, jge(jump greater than or equal), jle(jump less than or equal), ja(jump above), cmp (compare), test, etc)

The Largest Things In The World https://youtu.be/V1lfjKqGgf8?list=PLXK3uPjJ22FUgkmE10ySoALx9YjknvXHI
Description:
Architecture is one of the most astounding and complex professions in the world today. It has only been well over a century since skyscrapers first made their appearance in the late nineteenth century, complete with photos of the construction that alarmingly include men eating their lunch thousands of feet into the air with nothing to hang on to should they fall. Architecture requires some of the most brilliant minds in the world today, as complex designs have to have a way to stay standing. If you look at buildings from the earlier times, they looked like square boxes with some windows. But the innovation of design has challenged architects to be more creative and productive in their designs. From buildings to bridges, people want more aesthetics than functionality these days. However, functionality is crucial because it can make the difference between life and death.
If a student makes an error on their test, the worst thing that will happen is that they get a bad grade. If an artist messes up on a piece, the worst thing that will happen is that there was time lost and wasted. But if an architect makes an error, then there is more devastation and more at risk. If an architect writes up plans that are flawed, and those plans are published around the world, then there is potential for worldwide catastrophe. When it all comes down to it, architectural failures can be devastating and lives can be lost at epic proportions.
In this video are ten of the biggest architecture failures that have ever occurred around the world. Not only did these fails result in monetary loss, but also resulted in catastrophic damage to the people involved that involved PTSD and death. From the collapse of bridges to the downfall of some of the mightiest buildings to have ever existed, these failures are a grim reminder that we are still not perfect and have a lot of work to do in terms of how much we can create on our own.
Sometimes loss of life isn’t the only major issue when it comes to architecture failures. Sometimes it’s something as simple as color of the building. Take the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the VdaraHotel and Spa. The buildings are both very shiny and reflect the sun, thus unintentionally creating a massive heat ray that moves as the Earth moves around the sun. People have actually reported their hair getting singe and plastic melting from the rays coming off of the buildings. Perhaps that’s why we don’t see many silver buildings anymore?
The entries in this video are both tragic and humorous. As the art of architecture continues to evolve and change, we will likely see more failures come as experimentation in the building world continues to progress. We are learning with each building how to create something bigger and better, along with making sure that the building is safe and not put together with paperclips, glue, and maybe a few thumbtacks.

Remember when hell had frozen over?
The cold still burns underneath my skin
The water is rising all around me
And there is nothing left I can give
All these tears I've shed
I saw the wildfire spread
You said you cheated death
But heaven was in my head
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
It's like a brand new doomsday
The embers still glow when I’m sober
The gold in the flame burns brighter now
I have to rebuild now it's over
Maybe now I’m lost I can live
Souls don’t break they bend
But I sometimes forget
I have to do this for you
And the only way out is through
Death is an open door
Words the prophets said
Still swimming through my head
Now theres no stars left in the sky
'Cos this well will never run dry
What if I completely forget?
What if I never accept?
'Cos when you fade away
Its like a brand new doomsday
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough
And when the night gives way
It's like like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
Its like a brand new doomsday

Architecture & Water documentary. Part 1: A river runs through it

From The Architectural Review: How is the potent and rapidly changing relationship between architecture and water affecting the city and all of us? Architecture critic, EllisWoodman explores with leading architects, developers and urban thinkers the challenges and opportunities presented by rivers and canals and asks if engineers and property developers now wield the key creative power in shaping the city's relationship with its rivers? Does climate change present an urgent need to rethink our rivers? Could floating bike lanes and parks provide to urban problems?
This is the first of a series of three films exploring the relationship between architecture and water.
Part two: Gentrification machine — is the water a force that will unlock an increasingly unaffordable city or one that will fuel a trend of gentrification and displacement?
Part three: Water park — how can a river become more than a transport route and pretty view? Through recreation, interaction and radical ideas such as floating parks, amphibious houses and new public wetlands can the river become a living part of the city?
ACCOMPANYING DEBATES
The Old Royal Naval College is hosting a series of debates on the connection between water and architecture which accompanies this documentary. There are three debates each exploring a different aspect of architecture's connection to the river.

ADAPTIVE ARCHITECTURE

Associate Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen Kjell Yngve Petersen and PhD student Cameline Bolbroe want to examine how we as human beings react, when architectural structures change shape according to our behavior and needs.
How do we create adaptive buildings?
In the research project "MovingBeams" Kjell Yngve Petersen and Cameline Bolbroe work with moving beams. Via small ultra sensors placed at the ends of each beam, the beams register when a person moves, and then move accordingly.
The beams work as sketches for designing adaptive architecture and are meant to provide knowledge on how human beings behave when experiencing rooms that change their shape and structure.

Architecture -- Career

Architects design the spaces in which we live, work, and play. Though not a "classical" STEM field, the field of architecture encompasses all aspects of STEM --science, technology, engineering and math, with a nice dose of art and design thrown in. The demand for architects is on the rise, and there has never been a more exciting time to enter the field. Emerging subfields in sustainability and green building place architects in a unique position to help minimize our impact on the environment.

Why Enterprise Architecture?

MeetMichael, he works at a your company. He needs support from IT to do his job, so they cater to his wishes. But Michael is not alone and many Michaels later a Hairball Architecture will grow unless you use Enterprise Architecture (EA) to prevent that. EA is not just about some guidelines and principles, it is a process that makes sure the constant changes that inevitably happen in your landscape are good for your company as a whole and over time, not just good for the problem at hand.
The animation stresses the chaos-prevention goal of enterprise architecture and only touches lightly on the fit-for-the-future goal of enterprise architecture (at the end). Some architects (see comments below) say it wrongly depicts EA as too much about IT. I've posted a longer reply here: http://enterprisechess.com/2015/04/27/the-great-escape-ea-is-not-about-it/
The animation and narrative was created by New Narrative (https://www.newnarrative.media) based on interviews with me (the underlying message is mine, the way it is presented has been designed by New Narrative, I OK'ed the final script).
This animation can be freely used 'as is'. If you want an adapted version, please contact me for the approval (as I represent the publishing rights, info@masteringarchimate.com) and you will need to work with New Narrative for changes (as they are the owner of the animation). McDonalds and the Bank of Scotland are some of the organisations that have made customised versions for internal use.
If you use this for your practice, I'd appreciate that you let me know. I know of several large enterprises that are now using this.
If you want to know more about the philosophy behind this video, go to http://enterprisechess.com

You're probably used to MVP, MVVM, MVC, Clean, Viper, and other patterns and architectures usually applied using OOP.
This talk offers functional alternatives to these concepts, enhancing key ideas such as:
* Purity: Get rid of state on layers where it's not actually needed, enhancing the predictability of your code and therefore testability. You will learn about referential transparency and its importance for code readability, while at the same time reducing substantially the amount dependencies you need to mock.
* Dependency Injection: Find new ways of injecting dependencies into your system without the need of complex frameworks or libraries. Learn how to switch dependencies that are applying side effects on your testing environment to achieve complete isolation.
* Monads: Use Monads and sealed classes to model success and error cases inside your system. Use nested Monads, Functors, Applicatives to operate and transform the domain data. We’ll also cover more advanced styles such as Tagless-Final and Free Monads.
If you feel OOP is just not enough and want to make a big step forward, watch this talk. You will not regret it!

Yona Friedman Interview: Architecture of Trial and Error

“Don't forget that very important cities today started by immigration.” Meet the 94-year-old architect behind 'L’Architecture Mobile', Yona Friedman. He here shares the story of how his years as a refugee sparked his desire to make architecture adaptable.
“We need to get back to elasticity.” Friedman feels that an architect has to find a form, which is inexpensive and permits room for trial and error. Somewhere along the way, mainstream architecture forgot “the process” and that architecture is an “open-ended process – there is no final stage.” The idea behind Friedman’s ‘mobile architecture’ (L’Architecture Mobile) was that a house could be transformed as much as possible through the technical means of all individuals, and his goal was to “build a skeleton in which you could move homes like you move towels on a beach.” Consequently, he began making cartoon manuals, which were to help people execute the process themselves, believing that people should be left with room to improvise the city and its architecture: “That means the city shouldn’t resist the inhabitants, but should obey the inhabitants.”
“If there is space available, the technical problem is very low.” Friedman’s idea of the elevated city of ‘Ville Spatiale’ (1956) is a form of urban design, which aims to use the existing space in the most flexible way, creating new forms of cities with so-called ‘superstructures’ poised over existing locations. Friedman stresses that this is also very important in the context of how to integrate refugees into our cities. In spite of the current tone, the cities of Europe are not overpopulated and immigrants bring something new and useful, which has always been the case throughout history: “It depends on the mentality of those who were there originally and those who come in.” Places with immigration didn’t become poor, on the contrary, they prospered: “Ancient Rome was an asylum.”
“Optimism doesn't mean that the way necessarily is easy, but if you’re an optimist you take a difficult road more easily.” Friedman – who himself was a Jewish refugee during World War II – stresses that as an immigrant he was always accepted “with sympathetic indifference.” He adapted himself, and so did the people around him, independently of politicians, political parties or the like: “We are individuals, and we are able to improvise, and we are able to live leaderless, and we are able to invent… That’s enormous.”
Yona Friedman (b. 1923) in Budapest, Hungary is an architect, urban planner and designer, who lives and works in Paris, France. He was trained as an architect and rose to prominence with his manifesto L’Architecture Mobile (mobile architecture) and his idea for a different approach to urban growth with the ‘Ville Spatiale’ in 1956. Working on the principles for the Ville Spatiale, Friedman wanted to provide maximum flexibility through huge ‘superstructures’ over existing cities and other locations. The idea was for future inhabitants to be free to construct their residences within these structures, his architectural projects aiming to help and inspire people to do things independently. Friedman’s work – which includes sociology, economics, mathematics, information science, planning, visual art and film-making – consists mainly of proposals set out in drawings and models. For more see www.yonafriedman.nl
Yona Friedman was interviewed by Kasper Bech Dyg in July 2017 at the Danish Association of Architects in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Meet-the-Authors: Ong Ker-Shing and Joshua Comaroff of Horror in Architecture

"Horror In Architecture, a new book by Singapore-based architects Joshua Comaroff and Ong Ker-Shing, looks at the idea of horror and its analogues in architecture. In this 225-page book, the authors have built upon an investigation that spans across fields like history, literature and pop culture, to critique, categorise and explain the existence of various types of architecture around the world.
This book is a study about temporality and culture and it explores horror in architecture in its many guises. It also includes various case studies, attributing different typologies (clones, doubles, hybrids, psychotics and the undead) to specific buildings and architectural theories which provide a framework to understand such diverse work.
Horror In Architecture may be read as a history, as an alternative to the classic canon of good and proper architectures, or as a sly manifesto for a new approach to the design of the built environment -- one that encourages a playful subversion of conventions -- an approach the authors represent in their architectural practice, Lekker Design, an experimental design office in Singapore and the USA."

The Annual Architecture Lecture 2016: Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu

On Monday 11 July 2016, the RA welcomed Chinese architects Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu, of Amateur Architecture Studio, to deliver the 26th Annual Architecture Lecture.
Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu founded Amateur Architecture Studio in Hangzhou, China in 1997. They chose the name to emphasise the focus on craft, cultural memory and the everyday in their practice. Making frequent use of recycled building materials, their work negotiates the relationship between an architecture that is informed by Chinese tradition and one that is forward-looking, creating buildings that are at once timeless and shaped by the present moment. Works such as the Ningbo History Museum (2003–08) and Xiangshan Campus of China Academy of Art (2004–07) reveal their ability to create architecture that is contextual yet challenging, and monumental yet full of intimate spaces.

Overcoming Fundamental Inefficiencies in the Representation of Data in Conventional Architectures

Society has become so dependent on computing power that any inefficiencies in the way that we process information can considerably impede productivity and quality of life. Three emerging trends pose challenges to the design of more efficient computer systems. First, energy constraints are becoming more strict amidst the rising interest in IoT and mobile computing. Yet traditional architectures waste a great deal of energy ensuring exactness for the naturally approximate applications that run on these systems (e.g., noisy sensor input, user-subjective output). Second, data sets are growing to enormous proportions due to the rapid gathering of information in modern devices. We can no longer rely on data being readily available in on-chip storage. Third, active chip area is diminishing at smaller technology nodes due to thermal and power density limitations in process technology scaling. We can no longer fully utilize all on-chip hardware resources simultaneously. In this talk, I present new architectural techniques that tackle these challenges by recognizing that they stem from fundamental gaps in the way that data is contextualized in hardware. The goal of a processor is to process real-world information; yet in modern architectures, hardware perceives data as nothing more than bits. First, I show that awareness of the type of information encoded in the bits enables approximation of data values for greater efficiency under strict energy constraints. Second, I show that awareness of the location of information enables more concise caching of massive data sets. Third, I show that awareness of the significance of information enables better scheduling of computations based on their impact to the quality of the final result, improving utilization of precious on-chip resources. These ideas aim to mitigate fundamental inefficiencies in the data movement, storage and compute of today's systems.
